I am sure that it is a good indicator but you need to follow the guidelines. As I mentioned before 4th generation HIV test is accurate 28days post exposure and a simple HIV test 3 months post exposure.
Take care

Hello,
Keep calm and wait for the proper time to test. A 4th generation HIV test is accurate 28days post exposure and a simple HIV test 3 months post exposure.
